Wm Bill Bellamy - Just Another Fad Lyrics

There was a time when everybody feared the bomb
Nations would watch their young ones go off to fight wars in places like Viet Nam
Some would march and face brutalities
While others sat back and watched their money change our priorities

It's too bad and it's so sad if we have been had
If all of the signs and songs about love and peace were just another fad

Years later somehow we are still confused
Given more chances to win something without thinking about what we will lose
Some of us made a decision to step into Howard's shoes
Now we can't repay or replace all good people and good things we have abused and used

Oh it's too bad and so sad if we have been had
If all the signs and songs were just another fad
It's too bad and it's so sad if we have been had
If all the signs and songs about love and peace are just another fad

It's too bad and so sad if we have allowed ourselves to be had
I can still hear that song they sang we shall overcome someday
If all signs and songs about love and peace are not just another fad
No not another fad not you not me we won't let it be another fad
Help me people not let it be just another fad
And please don't look away and let it be just another fad

No, no, no, not another fad
We don't need another fad
